Turbo diesel also not an option cause Toyota prides themselves on naturally aspirated reliability and longevity with their offroad vehicles (example Toyota Land Cruiser. Yes I know there's a diesel option but it's not as popular).
It will most likely be another V6.
Manual might be an option as that is offered on the 2020 Tacoma I believe.
Either way I'm looking forward to see what the 6th gen will be like. Hopefully it's not disappointing like the Supra (in my opinion).

My v8 got better MPGs than my buddy's v6 consistently and mine is all time 4x4 too with his being 2wd. It's not much of a difference at all if we are being honest...plenty of guys with 5th gens get the same as me too. The MPG argument is unfounded imo and most of the time its what v6 owners say to try and make themselves feel better
and as far as emissions go, I don't get that argument either because there are plenty of Toyota and Lexus vehicles with a v8 offered.
